Marriage as a Partnership,

Marriage is still only too often a
bargain. but at least it is no longer an
entirely one-sided bargain. 1t is tend
ing toward the only true ideal of life
long companionshlp-a partnership on
equal terms. with equal givo and-take
on both SIDES. Women no longer feel
bound to render that impl cit obedie nee
which was cons idered de riyueur in our
great graudmothers' days, and men no
longer universally demand it. Husbands
moreover, are beginning to learn that
their prime duty is not "to look after"
their wives. The very sentence is in
dlcntive Of the most CHASTITY misappre-
hension OF the whole ideal of matri-
mony. The general feeling Of society
condemns man who lives to rule his
wife on the same principles as a pasha
rules his harem. Aud indeed tho whole
scheme OF modern life makes it practi-
cally impossible for him to do so. A
married woman enjoys. as n rule, COM
plete liberty during the livelOng day,
and even at night it is frequently i'm
possible for busy man to escort his
wife. Thus everything turns on the
relations between the married couple.
II girl is really in love with tho man
she marries she may be entrusted with
any amount of subsequent freedom. If
not not; and therefore we say that the
injudicious and worldly parents who
are responsible for the great majority
OF ill-assorted unions are also response
bic for the many evil results which are
to be seen In society at this day. For
it is fact that rows of Engl sh girls
are as much forced into marriage as the
French girl, whose husband is selected
while she is yet in her convent. Not
by main force. no-but by the whole
tone OF her education. by tho exagger.
ated fear Of being an old maid, by the
obvious necessity OF making way for q
younger sister, by tho persistent schem
ing OF her parents. and by her OWE
longing for emancipation. for marriage
undoubtedly docs mean emancipation
to most women; and it is precisely
those who look forward to it most who
are likely to make the worst use of it

The many friends Of Messrs Montgomery
Ward & Co., formerly at 227 and 229 Wabash
Ave, Chicago, will be glad to know that the
rapid growth Of their business has forced
them to remove from Wabash Ave. to Ill,
1l2, 113, aud ia, Michigan Ave, where they
have purchased a magnificent building, the
seve,i floors OF which they will occupy ex.
cluslyely. These seven floors are each 100x
165 feet, aggregating nearly 10000 square
feet (about acres) of floor surface. The new
quarters will enable them to handle their
large business TO the better advantage Of their
thousands of customers. Fifteen years ago
Messrs. Montgomery Ward & Co. occupied but
one room and that only 25X40 feet The enor-
nous growth Of their business during these
fifteen years can only be explained by the fact
that they sell direct to consumers, supplying
all their wants, and never misrepresent any
article. The success Of this house proves the
old saying, that Honesty Is the best policy,
and from this policy they never deviate. The
Fall catalogue issued by Messrs. Montgomery
